For reference, this is not a particularly large repo: it's even smaller than
Mercurial's own repo. I've got a repo more than 1000x larger on my laptop.

The server hung up on you. You'll have to ask the server why. If you own the
server, check ALL the logs. My guess with zero information other than you're
using Windows is that you're also using IIS, and some or all versions of IIS
have a buggy SSL that doesn't handle larger transfers well. Strongly recommend
you use.. anything other than IIS.
